Winchester 1300

[DonaldB]

I recently picked up a Winchester 1300 Ranger 12 guage with a 28” barrel on a trade. It’s a fine looking gun, nothing fancy and has a good feel to it. I was trying to find out what year this thing is and can’t find any information on serial numbers for these guns.

Does anyone out there know where I could find a serial number list?

Thanks

I picked up a 1300 a few years back for one of my boys. Real nice gun.

Nice shotguns that have a couple of unique features, is your receiver aluminum? I'm working on a Sears model 200 which is virtually the same shotgun, however the stocks are a ***** to find a good condition slightly different and unique to the Sears Ted Williams...

My receiver appears to be aluminum. 28” barrel and has the Winchoke. I think they were made between 1981 and 2007. I haven’t found a lot of information. It’s a good shooting shotgun though.

I couldn’t find the 1300 on that website. Maybe it’s to new of a gun. They were produced between 1980 - 2007 I think.

The Winchester 1300 is a great shotgun. They are still in production as the FN P-12, but only as a “tactical” shotgun. They are still sold by Winchester in hunting configuration as the SXP, or Super X Pump, and in “Tactical” configurations as the Defender.

I always found their “inertia-assisted slide-action” smooth and fast.

Yes sir....love me some 1300 "speed pump".

1300 defender with wood stocks is one of my weaknesses. I have two and still look for deals on them now.
